Lake Forest Resort Bird Spring Course: A Different Kind of Round in Minamiyamashiro

★★★★ 3.8 (983 Google reviews) — View on Google Maps →

The Bird Spring Course at Lake Forest Resort offers a different experience from its companion Century Course on the same property. Where the Century tends toward the spacious, the Bird Spring is more varied in character — a layout that uses the Minamiyamashiro terrain to create holes with distinct personalities and genuine strategic interest.

The Course

The Bird Spring Course winds through forested hillside terrain with a design philosophy that favors positioning over power. Several holes require careful thought off the tee to set up the approach — the kind of design where a well-placed iron can leave a simpler second shot than a driver into trouble.

Playing both courses at Lake Forest Resort on the same trip — Century in the morning, Bird Spring in the afternoon, or across two days with an overnight stay — is one of the better 36-hole experiences available in this part of Kyoto Prefecture.
